A question ...

Post by Ben »

Been looking on ebay for a toy, my question is when it says a car has been prepped for rally, would I expect it to be radically different than one reported to be prepped for track .. I'm assuming suspension but what else would be different? .. gearing? .. more the point I've seen a lovely rally prepared car but there is no point getting it if it requires lots of re-engineering.

thoughts :)

I would of said if you went for a Tarmac spec rather than forest spec
you would not be far off, Alyn ( stockcar ) would be worth a pm just
to clarify the finer points of rally car prep:driving:

Hayward is running a couple of very decent tarmac spec cars too now. PM answered Ben :)

Tidy that, cant see anything that would stop that from being an ace track car or any other rally car...
